  1. On Tuesday, November 4, eight more Ukrainian children and teenagers were successfully returned from Russian-occupied territory. This was made possible through the initiative **Bring Kids Back UA**.

    According to the Presidential Office’s, an 11-year-old boy had not left his home for four years so that the Russians would not find and take him away, as his family refused to send him to a Russian school.

    An 18-year-old young man was threatened by local collaborators with deportation and forced conscription if he did not register for military service. A 17-year-old boy and his 15-year-old sister faced constant humiliation at school for speaking Ukrainian, and their parents were fined for such “disobedience.”

  2. I almost can’t cope with the IDEA of Ukrainian children in the occupied areas/in russia because we are truly in the worst timeline now.

    I’m so angry at everything everywhere for letting this happen to these kids.

    I have a son who is barely older than this boy. I cannot even fathom him living this life.

  3. More than one third of his life spent in fear at home.

    🙁

  4. Just curious, if he was hiding, how did he get taken?
